RUSSIA tightened the screw on Royal Dutch Shell and its partners yesterday.
The state-owned energy giant Gazprom revealed that crucial talks over a stake in an £11 billion gas and oil project had stalled.
The move came as authorities in Europe, London and Tokyo voiced deep concerns over the Kremlin’s decision to revoke environmental approval for the Sakhalin 2 project.
They also expressed fears for other foreign investments in the country. Gazprom was in talks with Shell, which runs Sakhalin 2 in partnership with Japanese giants Mitsubishi and Mitshui, over a possible asset swap which would have seen the Russians with a 25% chunk.
But the Russians said talks had gone “nowhere” for months because of cost overruns.
Britain’s government yesterday said that it it was “deeply concerned” by the situation.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
